Posted earlier by someone else, but better than watching the actual Donnie shit show.
Presser comment thread posted at 5:37 for a 5:00pm scheduled start. TPM is catching on.
Iâd rather be snarking. How about the rest of you?
No. Fucking. Way.
I presume MSNBC will show it from start to finish and then spend the next two hours complaining about why they still show these campaign rally âbriefingsâ. Seems to be how they try to relieve themselves of their guilt.
Free Media for tRump COVID rallies. Not much different then they did before in 2016. Same thing all over again.
The five minutes he gives Fauci or Birx isnât worth the two hours of complete bullshit and gaslighting the country has to put up withâŚbut by all means do what you do media. You chose not to learn even when you know better.
This pandemic hit close to home again, today. A coworkerâs mother died from Covid-19. She lived in a nursing home and he wasnât able to be with her or say good bye. The victims arenât numbers or game pieces. They are people and Trump and his entourage need to stop playing games with this pandemic and start treating them and us as people.
O Iâm so sorry.
The damage in the nursing homes is going to be a painful story to hear once they finally do tell it. My heart goes out to your co-worker. It has to be awful.
Sorry to hear that. I think we will all be touched in some direct or indirect way by the time all this is over and theyâve figured out how to vaccinate us against it. Perhaps when we reach the number of patches equal to that on the AIDS quilt, which is 50,000, more people in our government will take this seriously. Or maybe weâll have to reach 150,000 that actually died from the disease. Letâs hope it doesnât take as long but day after day of reading about recalcitrant idiots opposed to science in the news forces me sometimes to lose hope.
Each day I say to myself, âtoday is the day he resigns or gets carried off the podium in handcuffsâ. I donât ask or wish for much.
This sums it up perfectlyâŚ
Thatâs truly heartbreaking and it really makes me furious. That fucking ego-driven maniac with a third grade intellect is making decisions over who lives and who dies, and all based on his own insecure political future and nothing more. I could spit. Time for me to step away from the computer. I think Iâve reached my limit today.
I am so sorry.
Youâre right, the victims arenât numbers or game pieces. I donât know if Trump has the capacity to ever understand that.
âThe Quack in Chiefâ
He does not. He is incapable of understanding that. Either itâs about him or it doesnât exist.
Itâs deeply sad and awful especially in a crisis like this.
His collapse from apoplexy, live on TeeVee, would be more satisfying.
Let the crazed melt down begin. Whistle blowers have a tendency to get him enraged. Who would have thunk it?
Is this unusually late even for him? I donât really know.
But is it possible he dropped dead?
